Just listened with emotion to a dialogue on France Inter between two people who “should” be enemies, but who, transformed by empathy, recognize each other as sisters.

Reflections on the film “Los domingos” With great interest and no small amount of discomfort, I watched “Los domingos” (Sundays,) a film directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, who also wrote the screenplay.

“Israel’s plan for the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip is progressing at a rapid pace, perhaps even better than expected. In addition to the significant achievements already made in systematic killing and destruction, the last few days have seen a crucial achievement: deliberate starvation has begun to yield results.

My friend, you hold in your hands a lucid and daring book, worthy of its provocative title: Le Credo de Nicée est-il toujours croyable? (Is the Nicene Creed still credible?).

Pope Francis rests in peace. It matters little whether his worn-out body rests in St. Peter’s Basilica or in that of St. Mary Major or in a humble niche in any Rome cemetery. May he rest in peace, in the deep peace of Mother Earth, in the eternal creative peace that sustains and moves the […]
